Hi, I am new to the list and researching my husband's GROSSARTH ancestry. In brief, I am interested in information about Feil, Kreis Erstein, Alsace: Ownership, churches, and other records. Thanks for any help or guidance, Karen Grossart Details: I am interested in finding a place called Feil which is mentioned in Volume 86, page 219 of the Deutsches Geschlechterbuch (DGB): Johann Nikolaus Großarth, I., wurde 1704 von + Franz Friedrich von Sickingen seines Amtes als Schultheiß zu Feil bei ... entsetzt weil er als Katholik mit einer luth. Frau verheiratet war und seine Kinder in Glauben ihrer Mutter erziehen ließ. Er wanderte aus und fand auf dem Disibodenberger Hof im protestantischen Herzogtum Pfalz-Zweibrücken eine neue Heimat. I had it translated to: Johann Nikolaus Grossart was removed in 1704 from his job as mayor of Feil by Franz Friedrich von Sickingen because he as a Catholic was married to a Lutheran woman and let his children be reared in the belief of their mother. He emigrated and found a new home in the Disibodenberger Hof (large estate) in the protestant Dukedom Pfalz-Zweibruecken. I am trying to locate this Ort of Feil. In Meyers Ort, I found two place names for Feil: Feil 1) Wlr., Kr. Erstein, s. Ostwald 2) D., BA. Rockenhausen, s. Feilbingert. #2 is a village near Disibodenberger Hof called today Feilbingert which was previously two towns, but I think that it is too close to be considered emigration and it also had a Lutheran church. #1 is in Alsace, near Ostwald which had a Catholic church, Kreis Erstein, [south of Strassburg]. Wlr. = Weiler = hamlet Which had 43 inhabitants in 1913 according to Meyers How would I found out if this hamlet belonged to Franz Friedrich von Sickingen around 1700? Any chance that estate records are available? Or can anyone see anything that I am missing about the small story? The FHC has filmed church and civil records for Ostwald. The civil [1793-1882] are after 1704. The Catholic records [1688-1791] are available, but Johann's one son was born 1687 so the records are not early enough for Johann. If the children were baptized Lutheran, then the records must be somewhere else. So I am looking for the closest Lutheran church and its records. I have used several of the gazetteers available through the LDS, but do not have access to the one for Alsace. Can anyone tell where the closest Lutheran church would be?

Hello A-L listers, I cannot understand why that particular link kept duplicating itself. It was like magic. I placed a single line link into my email and when it posted to our list it came up duplicated. My original email shows I sent it with one link. I apologize and hope that if you took the time to input it directly into the browser that it worked and you found it interesting. Janice

I would suggest the name of the village was Cosswiller (or Koßweiler in German), not Cosswillen. Cosswiller is in northern Alsace about 12 miles W of the city of Strasbourg. StrasBourg is on the Rhein River which is the border with the Granduchy of Baden (old Germany). It is about 30 miles to the north to border with The Pfalz. The online LDS Family History Library catalog shows they have these records for that village. These microfilms can be rented at your local LDS Family History Center. ====================== Registres de l'état civil, 1793-1882 Cosswiller (Bas-Rhin). Officer de l'état civil (Main Author) Civil registration of ten-year indexes, births, marriages, deaths for Cosswiller, Bas-Rhin, France. Text in French and German. Kirchenbuch, 1712-1738 Evangelische Kirche Koßweiler (Kr. Molsheim) (Main Author) Parish registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials for Cosswiller, Bas-Rhin, France. Text in German. ====================== IMO, the ship the family came over is interesting detail. However, from what I've seen, especially for ship passenger lists in that time period, there is little information on the ship record, so you are not missing much.

I have Christmanns in my family from Huetschenhausen, Pfalz, which at the time was ruled by Bavarian Kings. Pfalz was also called Bavarian Rhineland, so people considered themselves Bavarian even though they were Palatinates. **************Start the year off right.

N. Jones, Do you have any information on Daniel Chrisman born about 1705 and arrived at Philadelphia, PA Sept 5, 1730. on the ship Alexander and Ann with 130 Palatines. We do not know for sure if his wife came along. Some say he had a son Felix that came along. But we have found no proof. We think his father was Georg born in the late 1600's. All I need is the name of his parents and where he came from. Thank you in advance.
